Meeting Women Who Were Homefront Heroines: the WAVES of World War II

Schedule of Punishments

This is pretty serious stuff. Published 71 years ago today, these are the punishments WAVES could receive for various offenses during boot camp at the Naval Training Center in the Bronx. Disobedience of Shore Patrol? That S.C.M stands for “special court martial.” D.C? Detention Center.

Shape up, ladies!

The schedule comes from the special collections in the Schlesinger Library at the Radcliffe Institute for Advanced Study.
